Does anyone know what’s going on and how to fix it? After the last few updates to beta PMS, almost all audio is being transcoded to mp3 on my nvidia shield pro 2019. Even AAC stereo is getting transcoded to MP3 stereo. FLAC stereo as well. Is there a way to fix it?

Which seems really weird, as I know the shield can direct play FLAC and it has done so in the past. So is something messed up w/ the server profiles?
